Beers At Butoiul cu Bere / Bochka Piva

A taproom with 10-15 taps of local beers, mostly from more traditional ”unfiltered lager” style breweries. Beers sold in 0,5-2 liter plastic bottles. Usually fresh and in good condition. A nice place stock up on ticks cheaply.

Cool little store with a bunch of Moldovan beers on tap and a couple Ukrainian ones. You can fill up whatever you want in 1 or 2 L plastic water bottles, like Gene said. The sales girl even let me try some - not because the $1 price was high for me but because I didn’t know what to do with like 8L of Moldovan beer (I left a bunch in the hostel in Chisinau as it is). I gave her a tip. They have around 20 taps or so but many of them weren’t on. A bunch of Russian and Ukrainian canned beers as well.

Thanks to Boystout for pointing this store out. It seems to be typical of the small beer stores found around Chisinau, with a bunch of local and regional brews on draft for sale in one or two liter PETs. One liter cost anywhere from 20 to 50 lei, about $1.50 - $3. Salesgirl helpfully steered us away from beers that had low turnover.
